Weeping
Weeping — tears of distress — often touches ill tidings and family disturbance, though seeing others weep can mean pleasant reunion after estrangement. The dream may ask where sorrow is overflowing, and whether the tears lead trouble into your home or prelude a coming-back-together that mends a broken connection.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for weeping, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Weeping in your dreams, foretells ill tidings and disturbances in your family.
To see others weeping, signals pleasant reunion after periods of saddened estrangements. This dream for a young woman is ominous of lovers' quarrels, which can only reach reconciliation by self-abnegation.
For the tradesman, it foretells temporary discouragement and reverses.
